▶ 7:52 Kimberly Vandiver: Okay. And then if there's no objection, I'll motion by unanimous consent to close public comment. Seeing no objection, we are now closed for public comment. And at this time, I will motion by unanimous consent to approve without reading the minutes from the May 21st meeting. Seeing no objection, those minutes are now approved. Tonight, we have one appointment before us. This is ID number 2026-1415, the appointment of Dionysios Cascarellis at 116 Walton Park to the Human Rights Commission for a three-year term, said term to expire on the last day of February 2029, and I believe we have Mr. Cascarellis and the mayor here tonight.
